☀️ Easter Sunday at the Polo Grounds! 🐎🐣🏓🥂
What a spectacular day for the USPA Sportsmanship Cup presented by Vero Beach Table Tennis! High-speed action, incredible horsemanship, and a hard-fought battle between Vero Beach Table Tennis and Windsor.
The day began with a meaningful moment as Vero Beach Table Tennis presented a check to Shelley Kirkland of the Boots Campaign, supporting their mission to provide life-changing programs for veterans and military families. 🇺🇸
Vero Beach Table Tennis came out of the gate swinging! With four quick goals in the first chukker from Mario Dino, Liam Lott, and Hannah Meredith, they set a blistering pace. They asserted their dominance again in the 5th, with Mario Dino finding his fourth goal and Carlos Gonzalez adding his first of the game!
Windsor kept the pressure on, led by another breakout performance from Finn Secunda, who put up three goals. The highlight of the game came in the final chukker with a stunning end-to-end run by James Peponis—easily the "goal of the match"—leaving the defense in the dust! 💨

The field was the place to be during the break! While the children took part in a massive Easter Egg Hunt, fans also enjoyed and participated in a high-energy Table Tennis demonstration! 🏓 Of course, the half time break wouldn't be complete without the traditional divot stomping and complimentary champagne courtesy of Golden Horn Concierge. 🥂✨
